Seeing Yellow/Jaune

Ever since I got my new yellow scarf and turtleneck 

I’ve been seeing yellow everywhere

C comme Collections

 Great minds think alike.

 The fashion collections have been going on in New York, London, Milano and soon in Paris. Sophisticated Gucci designer Frida Giannini showed a lot of tarte au citron jaune (yellow) in her recent collection in Milan.

 Paris' Pierre Herme got the jump with his every bit as delicious Infiniment Citron collection of douceurs (sweets).

 Cheesecakes, gaufres, tartes, glace...

 You name it and you can get it in 'Infiniment Citron' flavor

 Herme's famous cakes with confit of lemon zest on top -
Infiniment miam miam

 And don't forget his fabulous Rhum Babas!

 Scroll down and read the descriptions. I swear a poet is writing his pastry copy. You will salivate.

Grab a bib. I mean it.

Pâte à baba imbibée au Limoncello, crème au citron, pâte sablée au citron, crème légère au citron, citron frais et citron confit, gelée de citron.

La puissance d’un baba où la liqueur de Limoncello se substitue au rhum. Où la chantilly citronnée est bouleversée par d’infimes morceaux de sablés. Où la crème nuageuse chatouille les sens. Où citrons frais et confits s’enlacent dans une exquise gelée acidulée.

Disponible en formats individuel, 3/4 personnes et 6/8 personnes.

 Here's a neat trick I discovered to aid your French skills.

Copy the description and paste it into Google translate.

Note at the bottom there is a sound button.

Click and listen. 

A not-so robotic French voice will read aloud to you the text and make you drool even more.

I meant it!

 I hope you're sitting on your 'Infiniment Citron' Backjoy as you drool. I got a red one for travel. If I lose it at least another one is waiting at home.

 Pierre Herme's Infiniment Citron will be disponible (until) 21/10/2012 Gone by the time I get to Paris on 27th October.

And hopefully these watercolors will be gone.

I'm showing a collection too.

Another little sale on Etsy this week to help get me to Paris to keep you amused.

Do take a look see svp.

Paris Jonquille Yellow

These Dafs are YELLOW, watercolor, 9" x11'

Merci Marie for translating daffodils into jonquils yesterday...

Sue's daffodils inspired me to run out and buy some to paint...

Cris in Oregon has daffodils growing in her own garden, even if they are facing away from her window - naughty daffs. If I was in Paris now I'd be wearing this jonquil jaune/yellow cardigan I would... David Lebovitz is smitten with jonquille yellow bergamots.
I've never had one, have you? All Paris adores yellow disks, especially their famous tarte au citron... More yellow disks, this time at L'Epicerie...

Here's a yellow-obsessed French woman about to fall into a case of tarte au citrons at patisserie Gerard Mulot. Oh to be in her shoes...

In Paris it's nothing to cook your dinner in a miniature jonquil yellow cocotte. If you can't make your own do stop in at Les Cocottes, 135, rue St.Dominique 75007

Or eat under a yellow awning at 17 Avenue de la Motte Picquet.

Petit Bateau's vitrine are full of yellow right now if you hurry...

Just some yellow walls I captured on the run in Paris...

In a weeks time I'll be boarding AirFrance for Paris. Miam-miam

Je t'aime Jonquil Yellow!
